Lit her first candle with a sneeze
At birth, Étincelle sneezed. A candle lit up. Her mother applauded. The doctor politely fled. She sneezed again. The kitchen caught fire, moderately. Everyone found it "adorable".
Trained to toast bread
Étincelle spent two months toasting bread. She nailed seven perfect slices. All the others burned. The family tasted each one with seriousness. Étincelle earned an official baker's certificate. The bakery closed.
Guards a treasure of shiny pebbles
Étincelle guards a treasure of shiny pebbles. They're worth "a lot", according to her. No one has appraised them. She sleeps in a circle around them. She breathes out a little smoke. The treasure is well kept.
